Hi Björn, Maybe someone else can give you more details, but in the meantime here are some useful links (which should have more than enough information to get you started if you're already familiar with packaging):

To generate multiple packages, the usual procedure is having debian/rules install everything into debian/tmp (instead of debian/<binary-pkg-name>), and then having debian/<binary-package-name>.install (also .docs, .manpages, etc. if needed) to copy the files you're interested in into the correct debian/<binary-pkg-name> directory. Of course you'll also need additional source stanzas in debian/control for each binary packages. If you're using debhelper 7 or CDBS they should then handle the debian/rules part automatically. > and in how-to package libs > (libany, libany-dev, libany-doc, etc.) http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/column/libpkg-guide/libpkg-guide.html (also http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html) Hope this helps, -- Siegfried-Angel Gevatter Pujals (RainCT) Free Software Developer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
